Personal Valentine

I didn’t want to get
too close to the world
for fear it would feel
I was interested in a more
permanent arrangement
we were so often on
tenterhooks with one
another its representatives
after inspecting my documents
would  reauthorize my complaints
but after you arrived
the idea of a personal history
seemed a vain but necessary
gesture on behalf of the greatness
love itself offered to bestow
